About this award

You can receive a $1,000.00 bursary. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep — there is nothing to repay. This is for you if you are a carpentry student facing financial challenges while pursuing your certificate. You must apply by October 31, 2026. When you apply, ask Saskatchewan Polytechnic how and when you'll hear back — email, portal, or phone. Selection is based entirely on financial need, which carries a 100% weighting. There is only 1 award available, so ask Saskatchewan Polytechnic how they prioritize applicants among those with similar financial needs. Ask Saskatchewan Polytechnic during your application how the money will reach you — some awards pay students directly, others apply funds to tuition. Confirm this so you can plan your cash flow. Renewal conditions aren't listed — if you're counting on this for multiple years, confirm with Saskatchewan Polytechnic whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

You must be enrolled full-time in the Carpentry Applied Certificate program at the Saskatchewan Polytechnic Saskatoon campus. Selection is based on financial need (100% weighting). A preference will be given to students who reside within the Greater Saskatoon Region, including: the Cities of Saskatoon, Warman and Martensville and the towns and villages in the Rural Municipalities of Corman Park, Blucher, Colonsay, Dundurn and Vanscoy.
